Kitty Keeper
As I mentioned in my post to Marina, I am at Amelia Island Plantation
in Amelia Island, Florida for 10 Days beginning last Friday. DH had a race in Memphis, TN and would be home on Monday but then fly to Florida on Wednesday to be with me. That meant Sam would either have to have another shot of steroids - much stronger this time if he was going to stay at home. Then there are the races in Wisconsin at the end of June and Watkins Glen July 9/10 to say nothing of the two races in August, two in September and one that last 10 days in Ohio in September. And we're talking about going to Barcellona for a week in November. We might as well take him off inhaled meds and put him on steroids and hope he doesn't suffer kidney damage or liver failure. OR We could have Dana come in and check on the cats. We've never had a non-family member come in and check on the cats but Dana came highly recommended. She sits for two of my co-workers' cats. I called her to discuss my cats and what she does to care for the cats and I was sitting on the bed. Sam had joined me and was asleep when Barnabus jumped up on the bed and lept on top of Sam and began playing. I asked Dana to hold a minute and said, "Barnabus, get off of Sam, he doesn't want to play!" and Dana said "Sam Cook? I know Sam Cook! I've given him his little kitty mask before. I absolutely love Sam I can't wait to see him. Well, it turns out that Dana worked for my current vet and had on multiple times delt with all of my cats but when I boarded Sam last September while we were on vacation and had him snipped and wormed and prepared for life on the inside, Dana had been the one to take care of Sam. And she takes care of the boarded cats at the clinic on the weekened which was when she gave Sam his inhaled meds. I was very comfortable leaving them with Dana. She came in on Thursday night to meet everyone and Sam went straight to her as she sat on the kitchen floor and put his little head in her lap and started purring. Eventually Hobbes had his head in her lap and Selena even let her pet her head - which has never happened before with a stranger. DH is taking care of everyone today, Tuesday and Wednesday am and then Dana will return on Wednesday evening and come see everyone twice a day Thursday - Saturday and once on Sunday morning to make sure Sam gets his a.m. dose of drug. All in all, I think I've found the solution to caring for Sam when we travel and for the same money it would cost to board Sam I can have all five cats cared for during the time we are away. How cool is that? Julie |

How cool is that? That's wonderful. It will be so much less stressful for Sam to stay at home than be boarded. (LOL, I never realised he was Sam Cook before. How's his singing voice?) -- Marina, Frank and Miranda.
